Lingenfelter Question??

Ok, the 427TT has hit 8's in the 1/4 while still to the eye remaining a common Vette... I was under the impression it did this w/ regular tires and pump gas? Or did it need Drag Tires and race fuel?

I'm pretty sure it did it on 91 octane, but I could be wrong. If it can do that on street tires, then I need some of those!

It did it with slicks! No way in hell are you going to run 8's with street tires.

Haven't found anything on what they ran for fuel on that 8.97 Run... But I know it was definately run on slicks. (Look at some pictures of it online sometime) Too much power to not have them.

Well, actually it was DOT aproved street legal slicks, so it was still "streetable" still out on the fuel question though.
